We were your first place slate at Nashville this year as well as first place slate and best of hunting class at Norseman the month before. Little sound bite.

Gentleman, we are down to Zebrawood only slates, and only about 9 of those, if your wanting one. Weve been building calls and planned to close the shop March 26th. We just ordered more slate and will try to make some more walnut and slate before we close the shop.

Del, Why in the world would you close up shop March 26th?  :TooFunny:

We are down to six zebrawood slates.

To answer the question about closing down the shop. We are both Dads with full time jobs. We have been working every weekend and after our normal jobs in the evenings since September. We have been cranking out calls to build our inventory up so we can sell during turkey season instead of building calls. Our families have graciously sat back while we worked. We made a pact when we started Natural Addiction that at the start of our turkey season we slow our shop to a crawl to enjoy hunting and spend time with our families for a few months. Its our "breather" so we dont get burned out. We will take orders, and will build calls but we wont be in the shop full time.  We still have a good inventory to sell from. If we need to extend shop time we will just have to do it. Good problem to have, thanks for all of yall supporting us.

They are selling so fast, I felt I had to get in the shop today. I roughed out 10 crotch walnut, 1 white Oak, and 10 paduak. We still have to turn them on the lathe and then get surface material.
